As soon as there is a full feature native signal App i would switch to Linux phone. axolotl or Android emulation didnt work for me :/

Hosting a Matrix server, with bridge to Signal would work. This could even work locally.

@smileyhead @John calls don't work through bridges - as long as you only want chats bridge works nicely

Did you try Flare yet?

[-] John@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 8 months ago

I thought its not a standalone signal App is it?

[-] erebion@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 8 months ago

Not yet. You can link it to a phone or register with signal-cli and link it to that.
